Hides is a program designed to help you boost up your productivity while working on your Mac computer.
The tool lives on your Menu Bar from where you can change the way it operates. You can choose between 2 types of tasks: hide all running programs or enable the Focus mode. The latter might prove to be of good use if you want to stay focused on a single window or tool from your desktop and conceal the rest of the running programs.
An advantage is the fact that you can define global hotkeys for immediately completing the aforementioned tasks. So, with a keystroke, you can hide all running programs from your screen or enable the Focus mode.
The only thing I'd add to this program would be an option to hide the desktop icons. This way, you would have a really clean screen when needed.
All in all, I think this tool is a great solution for staying focused on your work. It's very simple to handle, works 100%, and comes with a reasonable price.

- You can define hotkeys for immediately hiding all apps and enabling Focus mode
